In developing countries, diarrhoeal disease accounts for an estimated 17.5–21% of all deaths in children under the age 5 years, equivalent to 1.5 million deaths per year of all child deaths from diarrhoea. The commonest cause of diarrhoea during infancy is either viral or nonspecific or dentition diarrhoea. Commonly prescribed anti-diarrhoeal consists of potent antibacterial and antiprotozoal which results in mucous colitis, post diarrhoeal urinary tract infection and a long term manifestation of cartilaginous osteoarthropathy. Material & Methods: Infants attending Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research Warisaliganj were selected for clinical evaluation were duly examined and evaluated for base line bio parameters. In addition parent or attendants were thoroughly interrogated for clinical presentation, history of treatment and their result. Result: All infants taking HERINA drop shows earliest change in consistency and frequency of stool with complete normalization within 72 hours while others had deterioration of hydration status (39%) and needed intravenous fluid administration with advocation of HERINA drop. Crave for water in infants on HERINA drop ceased within 24 hours though some had within 12 hours while in others persisted for more than a week. 93% infants taking HERINA drop had grade I clinico- pathological cure while others had worsening of hydration state in majority (89%) and needed fluid transfusion and advocation of HERINA drop. Conclusion: HERINA a safe herbo mineral composite proves worth in infantile diarrhoea limiting duration of treatment, loss of fluid and electrolyte and cost of therapy without any untoward effects.","PeriodicalId":221440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural & Ayurvedic Medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131449300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Physicochemical and Thermal Characterization of the Consciousness Energy Healing Treated Folic acid","authors":"J. S","doi":"10.23880/jonam-16000176","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/jonam-16000176","url":null,"abstract":"Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a co-factor for DNA replication and required for various intracellular reactions. The scientific study was performed to determine the power of the Trivedi Effect®-Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment with respect to the physicochemical and thermal properties of folic acid by using sophisticated analytical techniques. In this experiment, the test sample folic acid was divided into two parts. One part so-called control sample did not get the Biofield Energy Treatment; while the other part was termed as the Biofield Energy Treated sample received the Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment remotely by a well-known Biofield Energy Healer, Alice Branton. The analysis revealed the increase in particle size values in the treated sample by 2.86% (d10), 6.34% (d50), 17.22% (d90), and 11.30% {D(4,3)}, respectively, along with 4.55% reduction in the specific surface area, compared to the control sample. The PXRD peak intensities and crystallite size the treated folic acid showed significant alteration ranging from - 11.57% to 394.74% and -81.93% to 4.06%, respectively, compared to the control sample. Besides, the treated folic acid showed 32.95% reduction in the average crystallite size than the control sample. The total weight loss of the treated folic acid was significantly reduced by 12.96%, while the residual amount was increased significantly by 111.84%, as compared to the untreated folic acid. The maximum thermal degradation temperature corresponding to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th peaks were altered by -7.10%, -2.95%, 0.36%, and 3.57%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Besides, the treated sample revealed 9.59% reduction in the melting point along with 24.17% increase in the latent heat of fusion. Moreover, the decomposition temperature and latent heat of decomposition of the treated sample were found to be increased by 3.86% and 42.56%, respectively, as compared to the control sample. The Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment (Trivedi Effect®) might have created some polymorphic form of folic acid that ensure its better appearance, flowability, and thermal stability than the untreated sample. Thus, the use of the Biofield Energy Treated folic acid might be more advantageous for designing the nutraceutical/pharmaceutical formulations","PeriodicalId":221440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Natural & Ayurvedic Medicine","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117237989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
